Emotions Expressed Poem by kelvin karani

Intertwined emotions are expressed,
Tangled, interwoven in each other
Flowing from within, closets closed
Just like in a river,
It flows gentle, then turbulent.

Emotions expressed in many poems,
Like those of yours truly,
Come with meanings deep
From the poet or society.
With a conscience which does not sleep
Exploring even the triviality.

Nothing escapes the poet’s concern.
Everything in all facets of life
And all philosophies are excavated by one’s pen.
The good life and that of strife
Everything in this wide wild world
Anything big or small in the cosmos
Humbly submits itself to the poet,
Like a sheep to it’s slaughterer.

Emotions expressed in poems,
Sincere and true they are,
For the society and fellow poets;
Beseech them, commands them.
Arouses their curiosity at times,
Teaches them, informs and castigates
Because poetry has a function,
It does not just exist,
As poetry qua poetry.
